release-expert

release-expert is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from anton-abyzov/specweave. It costs 0 tokens per session (3,275 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A release-planning skill for coordinating versions and deployments across multiple code repositories. It covers release candidates, staged release waves, compatibility checks, and rollback order.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to align repository versions, manage alpha, beta, release-candidate, and final stages, check version conflicts, coordinate staged releases, and plan rollbacks.
Why use it?
It helps prevent repositories from shipping mismatched versions or releasing in the wrong dependency order. It also provides a plan for reversing a release when something goes wrong.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

release-expert scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 5d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Release Expert

Multi-repo release orchestration, version alignment, RC lifecycle management, and release strategy.

Core Capabilities

  1. Semantic versioning enforcement and version bump suggestions
  2. Multi-repo version alignment (lockstep/independent/umbrella strategies)
  3. Version conflict detection and compatibility validation
  4. Release dependency management and wave-based coordination
  5. RC lifecycle management (alpha/beta/rc/final)
  6. Brownfield strategy detection from existing projects
  7. Rollback planning with reverse wave ordering
  8. Version matrix management for umbrella releases

Semantic Versioning (Semver)

Format: MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH[-PRERELEASE][+BUILD]

Version Bump Rules:

MAJOR (1.0.0 -> 2.0.0):
  - Breaking changes (incompatible API)
  - Remove features
  - Change behavior of existing features
  Examples:
    - Remove deprecated endpoints
    - Change function signatures
    - Modify data formats

MINOR (1.0.0 -> 1.1.0):
  - New features (backward compatible)
  - Add endpoints/functions
  - Deprecate (but don't remove) features
  Examples:
    - Add new API endpoints
    - Add optional parameters
    - New module exports

PATCH (1.0.0 -> 1.0.1):
  - Bug fixes (no API changes)
  - Performance improvements
  - Documentation updates
  Examples:
    - Fix null pointer error
    - Optimize database query
    - Update README

Pre-Release Tags:

Alpha: 1.0.0-alpha.1  # Early development (unstable)
Beta:  1.0.0-beta.1   # Feature complete (testing)
RC:    1.0.0-rc.1     # Release candidate (near production)
Final: 1.0.0          # Production release

Version Alignment Strategies

Lockstep Versioning (all repos share version)

Strategy: Lockstep
When to Use: Tight coupling, small team, shared breaking changes

Current State:
  - frontend: v2.5.0
  - backend: v2.5.0
  - api: v2.5.0

Rules:
  - ALL repos MUST bump together
  - Use highest bump type (if any repo needs MAJOR, all bump MAJOR)
  - Version always stays in sync

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
